Radius

The events unfold in contemporary times, with modern technology such as cars, CT scans, 911, and hospital procedures. Liam and Rose’s desperate flight operates within a recognizable near-present world, until a cosmic anomaly injects a sci-fi twist. The pace follows a contemporary thriller rhythm, focused on immediacy and containment rather than historical context.

A quiet rural setting frames the story, spanning a small town, a roadside diner, a farm, a hospital, and a remote cabin. The town feels isolated as unexplained deaths begin to occur near the protagonist. The diner is left as an eerie, empty waypoint; hospitals and cabins become the backdrops for pursuit, testing, and survival.

🧪 Proximity

Liam’s aura makes nearby living beings die, forcing characters to reckon with the cost of closeness. The film uses this rule to explore moral choice, fear, and isolation. Proximity becomes a weapon as well as a burden, driving characters apart and together in turns.

❤️ Love vs Trust

The relationship between Liam and Rose tests loyalty and truth under pressure. Trust wavers as past traumas and hidden truths surface, revealing the danger that companionship can attract. Their bond becomes both a lifeline and a liability as they flee together.

💭 Memory & Identity

Amnesia frames the central mystery: who are Liam and Rose, and why are they connected to the deaths? The search for memory drives the plot and forces characters to define themselves by actions rather than names. Identity is reassembled through shared peril and the unraveling of secrets.
